Tarptent was mentioned once above, and I'll second that. I'm not sure about current industry prices, but in past two decades they've been competitive. In my experience, silnylon has been very durable, in addition to being light and compact. And I'll also second the view that with lighter weight comes a learning curve dealing with condensation, but I found that surmountable and worthwhile. One advantage is ease of drying--a few minutes in sun and wind and the whole tent is dry.

I used their smallest model for over 10K miles of long distance hiking and bike touring. I replaced that when it wore out, and added a two-person model for bike touring with my wife.
